Eric TIllman victim of over zealous Police

Maybe I'm late to the game, but I was recently given some information about the whole Eric Tillman sexual assault bullshit. This information comes to me second hand but I do know the original source, who's step daughter is friends with 'the girl', and my source well enough to believe them both.

Apparently 'the girl' who Tillman allegedly assaulted was a babysitter, Tillman was at home from work early because of back pain. The 'assault' was apparently when Tillman put his hand in the girls pocket. Why would Tillman put his hand in a 16 year olds pocket, who knows, but in all likely hood it was something as innocent as placing the girls payment for babysitting.

Here's where things get wonky, for reasons unknown to me 'the girl' told one of her supposed friends, who in turn told her father who just happens to be a over zealous police officer. The police officer is the one that launched the complaint against Tillman, NOT 'the girl' or her family.

If all this is true, everyones opinions will differ on whether Tillmans action was appropriate or not, especially since we don't know for sure why he put his hand in her pocket. Regardless, if both 'the girl' and her parents don't want this case to proceed either the Police or the Crown should drop these ridiculous charges. Ridiculous not because Tillman is a hero to Saskatchewan sports fans but because if he can be prosecuted for a crime that the alleged victim isn't complaining about then it becomes open season on anyone who may be acquainted to any member of the opposite sex even if they're over the age of consent.
